The Grotesque Burlesque of Massachusetts Presents: Siren Fire
Fusing the power of watery Cancer season and fiery Leo season, the Grotesque Burlesque, a queer joy and magical coven of healing performing arts, presents to you: “Siren Fire”
Get ready for a night of star powered mermaids/things/kings expressed through an interactive dreamy cabaret of song, drag, dance, shapeshifting, raunchy ritual and fun freakiness. Join us Friday July 25, 2025, for a 1.5-hour rainbow of a showcase – @the_grotesqueburlesque
The GB has been creating queer artistic affinity spaces since 2021, based in the heart of Western MA. Most recently, their work was showcased through a full-length performance called “Dream” through the Pay-It-Forward cultural grant program at City Space in Easthampton MA, featuring over 10 multi–medium local artists. The GB began with DIY roots, performing out of a squatted artist lounge that brought together fringe performers to co-create cabarets of exceptional depth, love, play and power.
This troupe is spearheaded by Lex Grotesque (aka Jupiter Returned) a Black, transgender- nonbinary, queer, educator, performer, activist, and witch. Lex specializes in somatic healing, process arts, contemporary dance movement, theater arts, and curriculum development. Co-founder of Moon Prism Arts Collective; a queer makerspace & arts community in Easthampton, Ma, organizer of Northampton Pride & Literacy Educator and Teacher.
Performers include Murry Eyeball Grotesque, shapeshifting sonic forest witch & freaky fairy (recently relocated to Hudson Valley), Bex Grotesque, badass tattoo artist & tender trickster (Vermont), and Papa Grotesque, aka Skins, daddy drag magician and fierce lover (Western MA). We are not just a troupe; we are a family woven in deep loving & liberatory connection.
